World's Worst Mom Award

I'm gonna say it and no one judge me: The last two weeks have been H-E-L-L (yes I just wrote that). You may think that I am being a bit harsh when I say this, but I give myself the "World's Worst Mom" Award for some of what has occurred. So Bailey has been a total grump the last two weeks for a couple reasons: First, she had a staph infection on her little bottom that she got from who knows where. She was on antibiotics 3X a day that she HATED and I had to force it down her throat. She finally got to the point of literally throwing it back up along with food she had eaten that morning of afternoon. Secondly, she is getting at least 5 new teeth (but it's about time...she only has 5 teeth and she's 18 months old!) We've been waiting and waiting for these new teeth and now they have all decided to pop up at once. So as you might imagine, it has made life super easy for mom. :)

That was only the beginning...I took Bailey to play group this past Thursday (these pictures are not actual pictures we took) and she loves the big twisty slides but likes me to go down with her the first time or two until she will go on her own. So naturally I put her on my lap and off we went! Well halfway down her leg gets caught up under me and by the time we got to the bottom her leg was all twisted funny underneath me and she was screaming. After she screamed for 20 minutes and she wouldn't walk on it I drove her to the doc.
They did x-rays and luckily it wasn't broken but she had a bad sprain and so she didn't walk on it for 2 days or so and Iv had to just carry her everywhere. I felt so bad!

And to make the week even worse...she was finally feeling better by Saturday. Her infection was long gone, she was walking on her leg, and a few of her teeth had finally cut through. Chris was at priesthood session of conference and so I took Bailey to the grocery store with me to get a few things. She loves to pretend she's driving and so while I loaded the groceries in the car, I sat her in the driver's seat put my purse in the passenger seat and proceeded to load up the car. Afterwards, she was having so much fun that I was going to just run the cart across the aisle. So I shut the driver door (so she wouldn't try to climb out and go into the road) and jogged over to put the cart away. I literally returned 10 seconds later and there was Bailey holding my keys she had dug out of my purse, still in the driver's seat with the doors all locked!!!! I was FREAKING out, but I tired to remain calm as I tried to coax her through the closed window to push the unlock button on the keys. I also tried to get her to manually pull up on the lock or even to push the lock button on the door! But to no avail! And by this point people are starting to speculate (well come on--who wouldn't!) as I keep trying to remain calm and continue to coax Bailey into unlocking the door. About ten minutes later Bailey starts getting a little scared that I'm not getting in the car and after she tried opening the handle and realized that it wasn't opening the door she starts calling "mama!" "mama! open!" Then I loose it and start bawling and a lady come over and calls 9-1-1 and a few minutes later the fire dept drives into the shopping center with their sirens blaring (did they have to turn on the sirens? come on!) and people are REALLY staring at me now and probably thinking "what a terrible mom to let her toddler lock herself in the car!" Well they break into the car and give Bailey a teddy bear and sticker and she's all happy and I'm covering my face and clambering into the car wearing a sign that says "WORLD'S WORST MOM"

the end.
